Saturday Photo Hunt - Water
This weeks Scavevger Photo Hunt is Water. So I will give you 2 different versions of water. Water that we drink and water that surrounds my homeland of Hawai’i.
Mention Hawaii to just about anyone, anywhere, and it conjures up images of lush tropical forests, breathtaking scenery and pristine beaches. In short - paradise. But now, for the first time, people everywhere can taste the water that helps make Hawaii a paradise, Hawaiian Springs Natural Artesian Water.
There are few natural artesian wells in Hawaii. Rain alone is enough to fill the reservoirs of the Aloha state. There is, however, a massive well on the Big Island, Hawaii, the eastern-most island of the Hawaiian chain.
The well at Kea’au (which means clear, pure spring water) is a natural geological result at Mauna Loa, one of the two largest volcanoes on the island. Mauna Loa was spawned by the single source of all eight Hawaiian Islands and the entire archipelago to Midway; more than one hundred islands in all. It is, quite literally, the source of paradise.
A U.S. Geological Survey has concluded that the water from Kea’au is some of the purest in the world. Hawaii is the most isolated population center in the world, a fact made clear with a glance at any globe. The upshot is that Hawaii stands alone in an area of more than 10 million square miles of ocean. There are no factories, no industrial centers, no traffic-clogged interstates for thousands of miles in all directions.
When it rains in Hawaii, the rain falls from smog-free skies. Water that starts off close to pure remains pure all the way down to the volcanoes. It filters through 13,000 feet of charcoal, the earth’s natural filter.
Hawaiian Springs Natural Artesian Water is as pure as paradise, because from its source it’s naturally pure, all in the course of a little more than 30 days. The short duration also guarantees that Hawaiian Springs Natural Artesian Waters “young water”, which means it doesn’t pick up the sediments and minerals that give U.S. mainland and European waters their aftertaste.
And now the Beaches from the Leeward side of the Island of Oahu to the Windward side of the Island. My favorite place to be ...... The Ocean!
